Science: For the Starving

While the Nazis were systematically starving their captives. Allied
chemists perfected a special restorative food for humans who are so
starved that they cannot digest ordinary fare. The food, of powdered
amino acids, is made from milk, meat, eggs, beans and fish, and is
called protein hydrolysate. It may be taken in solution either by mouth
or by vein. A six-ton shipment, made in the U.S., was on the way to The
Netherlands last week.
